    Vegetarian platter
    Assia A.

    Absolutely DELICIOUS Ethiopian food!! Very authentic, flavorful and fresh! Be aware: this is a small family owned restaurant. Aesthetically it's lacking but you're here to eat not stare at walls. The family all came out and greeted us and spoke with us. They're so passionate about their restaurant and assuring that you enjoy your experience. We got the lamb tibs and vegetarian platter. Very generous and delicious. It was the perfect sample platter. We ate and ate and ate and they even asked if we wanted extra stew! Really enjoyed the flavor and variety. Will be back to support this local small business.

    What is up with this plaza at Bardstown and Watterson trail? It already has my favorite taqueria in Mi Preferida. It has one of my two favorite Indian places with Dakshin. Now it has Adis Ababa. This new Ethiopian place is the deal. I had the lamb tibs. Lean lamb chunks seared with tomatoes and onions and spices in a nice thick stew. It was served on injera with a green salad. The nice gentleman asked if I'd like some lentils. I said sure. Do not pass on the lentils. Very tasty creamy consistency. I am only rating this place based on this one meal. It was a 5 star lunch. I have leftovers for a big lunch tomorrow. Now the dilemma is what restaurant do I visit next time I'm in the neighborhood.

    This place is very new, so they're still getting a full menu and "vibe" put together, so I'll forgive that part for now. I ordered their vegetarian combo platter and soon enough found myself sitting in front of some injera supporting small heaps of salad, stewed cabbage and carrots, red lentil stew, and green lentil stew. This is standard Ethiopian fare and tastes about as expected. Still, the personality of the food still comes through enough for me to know I'm not eating at somewhere else in town like Abyssinia. They asked if I was okay with "spicy", and I said yes, so my platter had some heat to it. Particularly the salad, it contained slices of what I assumed was probably jalapeño in it. Added a nice crunch. The stewed cabbage and carrots were a tad brighter-tasting and sweeter than I was accustomed to. I'm not referring to added sugar, this is just a tasting note, in the same way that some black coffees taste "sweeter" than others. I normally feel "blah" about cabbage but the way they cook it here made it pretty enjoyable. The green lentils, on the flip side, were more earthy than I have had in the past. I can't put my finger on it what spice it might be, but I don't mind it. If my wife were free enough to have joined me, it probably would have been her favorite part of the meal. Lastly, the red lentils, normally my favorite part of a veg platter, did not disappoint. Still my favorite part of the meal here! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Ethiopian food, this place will not disappoint unless you're looking for a very specific dish before they've had a chance to expand their menu.

    So good it's almost all gone  Vege platter with lamb tibs

    Wonderful Ethiopian Food! Got the veggie platter and lamb tibs. Veggie platter came with lentils, potato carrot, collard greens and perfectly dressed salad. Every bite was flavorful. The injera was perfect! Lamb was soft, tender and flavorful. Tried the sambosas and loved them. I preferred the meat ones but they were both flavorful and crispy. The owners are so friendly and sweet. We witnessed the coffee ceremony which involves incense and roasting of the coffee in front of you. Was unable to try it because I was so full but will definitely try it next time. Tried some home made honey wine and they too was delicious. Nothing but positive things to say, go try this delicious food, meet some cool and very friendly people and support them!

    Vegetable combination, my partner has chicken tips

    We've come here several times because the food is absolutely amazing and there is no other Ethiopian restaurant in the city that's better food quality than this one. Although, I am not sure we will be coming back ever again, our last visit was pretty questionable. We were charged the price for 3 meals and only got 2 meals which made our bill $65+ for only 2 people. I got Doro wot with veggies but for some reason was charged for a veggie combo and a Doro wot combo. On our receipt, they marked out the actual $15 price with a pen and changed it to $35.00 for one of our orders. We have been to other Ethiopian restaurants and have gotten the same order for more than half that price. I'm leaving three stars because again the food is great, but it's not ever okay to take advantage of repeat customers. My biggest critique here is to get a better system set up, have what you serve on the menu plan and simple, and be prepared to accommodate customers' requests to adjust certain meals or to not accommodate customers requests to adjust meals. When customers want to add to a dish such as (a side of beans) you should have separate side item prices set up! it's not fair to charge the full price of a different meal just because a customer asks for one extra side. So yes we won't be back here unless management or someone from the restaurant reaches out to fix this.

    Fantastic! There is no competition equal to the quality of the food here! You would not expect such an impressive meal in a shopping plaza store front. Clearly all of the energy here goes into their unparrelled Ethiopian Dishes! You can taste the care that goes into the preparation.
